IAEA NUCLEAR VERIFICATION

IAEA - The IAEA has continued to monitor activities around North Korea's Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Centre, but cannot confirm the nature and purpose of the activities because it does not have access on the ground, Director General Yukiya Amano told the IAEA's Board of Governors today.

IAEA inspectors were required to leave North Korea in 2009. Since then, the Agency has monitored the country's nuclear programme using open-source information and satellite imagery.
